Gorgeous series Wendell. You guys were spoiled. Favs are the chain with the droplets and the silhouette of Glen.

Very nice.

I live close by the water so I really have no excuse to not get out there at the crack of dawn and shoot some images myself.

Spooky it may be but there are some beautiful shots Wendell

Great shots...... but they seem to lack color or saturation....... or was that the effect wanted.......

Wendell. I concur with Simon as to the pick of these shots. Very impressive work from you. Where are the ones that lead to you being awash with water?

I can't believe you've processed and posted these images so soon after the event Wendell! It's interesting for me that you chose to highlight the water in this series, going by the percentage of framage water received...

Where were those taken by the crashing waves' edge - for which you got wet and risked your camera getting wet?

hi guys thanks for the comments

Peter the pics i took when risking the life of my D2X suck
you know i only like a cetain aesthetics in my images for image selection as a set they don't work with these.

I am a bit inexperienced with capturing waves backlit by the sun in low light conditions so not really happy with what i got.

the others however would make nice location shots for future model test work

big pix, I liek the saturated look, ties in better, less bold more muted which all contributes ot the global feeling of the set.

Simon i think this is the first meet for 2006, you should start one up in the state you ar elocated in, make dslrusers.net history

onyx, fast because straight out of camera, i don't waste a minute

Wendell, great series, a different perspective Like them a lot

No, The first meet of DSLRUSERS .NET was on the Saturday 21/1/06 at Tea Gardens and Hawk Nests.

As usual Wendell some excellent images!

Wendell, great photos, interesting perspective.

I like the colours you chose too, creates the mood.

Wendell I really like the "elaboration on a theme" - lovely shot.

Love images Wendell. It was great to hang out with you again (although I missed your close call with the waves). You've put my chain water droplets to shame, where you using the 12-24DX for those ? Great stuff!

Great series Wendell.

Ahh, the serenity

Always appreciate your work

I shot the chain with the kit, so have a different perspect
ive (the tripod was also a different height), I might post some low res thumbnails for comparison).

(I'd love to see some of the shots with me and the flowers, pity I didn't do my hair!)

Actually, it really doesn't matter which was, or which was not.

Please, all, no pissing contests of any kind.

Let's simply enjoy the images.

Great set of pics there Wendell, i like them all and i think you all were all keen to get up so early and meet the morning like this and be rewarded with great shots.
Cheers
John

Happy to oblige Craig ...



It's a good look - just remember the hula skirt next time!

Geoff & Bel - thanks for arranging the shoot. It was really great and I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it - well done to both of you!

Lovely sillohuette shot, Wendell.

Cheers

Can't see the Pixspot image. Just get the infamous go to pixspot graphic.

(Strange, I still have no issues seeing pixspot shots, here is Lynn's shot)

I see a bunny!

pic three is my favorite ... simple and serene with a great colour.

They are great shots Wendell, as always from you.

The shot of Glen is spectacular.

Nice work Wendell!

Second one is great... but I am a sucker for hardware in scenic locations...

Thanks Craig. Pretty good shot and I see a DB too. PS It's a weed not a flower.

Well I might try to argue semantics, that it's a flower and the plant it came from is the weed, but who cares... Made me look more interesting..

Craig you are right on both counts
